Wow that was a lon g time coming, I wrote that e-mail a month ago! Thanks
for the info though.
My problem has never really been of the line, my traction problems happen
2nd through 3rd gear. A couple weeks ago I almost lost it after spinning
badly into third gear. Heating the drag radials well along with pressure in
the 15 to 17 lbs. range gave me enough traction to break my rear-end!
